Abstract
The policy evolution, standard rules, supporting measures and implementation effects of the nutri-grade labeling in Singapore were summarized based on collected materials about Nutri-Grade labeling from the official website of Singapore Ministry of Health and literatures. The practical experience of nutri-grade labeling in mandatory disclosure of sugar information in nutrition information, evaluation of multi-form sugar-sweetened beverages, and prohibition of advertising of high-sugar beverages has important implications for the implementation of mandatory FOP labeling of sugar-sweetened beverages in China.
